From the reviews

I recently took a women's self-defense class with Michelle! I just want to start by saying how grateful I am that they offered this class! The main instructor, Michelle, was AMAZING! Michelle and the staff were so passionate and knowledgeable about women's safety and martial arts.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Mar 2025

I used to go to a gym, but that got boring. Then I tried out this place and haven't regretted it for a second. The instructors -- patient, thorough and providing personalized instruction -- make sure everyone improves.

★★★★★ — Carolyn, Jan 2020

Thank you to Michelle for hosting the self-defense class for women!! It’s important to mention one class is free so she makes her knowledge really accessible, just show up and be ready to kick ass. Super kind knowledgeable and respectful. Highly recommend taking their courses.

★★★★★ — Arianne, Sep 2025

My son has been training there for more than 5 years. The whole program is designed around the core philosophy of Martial Arts. All of the instructors are very skilled and deeply caring of and committed to, our kids learning.

Your first taekwondo class at Oom Yung Doe - 8 Martial Arts - Seattle

Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
